VCH Research has just launched its new site – better designed to serve researchers, trainees, VCH staff and health professionals who are interested in getting involved and learning more about our research enterprise, and raise public awareness of the breadth and value of our research at Vancouver Coastal Health.
On the site, you can learn about research projects and published studies through news releases, featured stories, and researcher triumphs; you can also find out about clinical trials and how to participate, get to know some of the 1500 research personnel at VCH, and see how you can get involved and collaborate.
Are you new to our website?
